Fun with Illustrator

I've been taking some more online classes with Nicole's Classes, this time in Adobe Illustrator, which has been super fun. Below you'll find a few of the things I've worked on as I continue to learn how to use the program. It's not my typical style but I'm really enjoying myself! More to come I hope.

The new kids

Here are a couple pieces I did awhile back based on sketches and/or drawings with ink, then finished in Photoshop. These both became gifts for some new babies in the family. Thanks for being my guinea pigs! You have now joined the long list of people who get all the stuff I make and then need somebody to give it to! 

For the mamas

A day late . . . boy, was it crazy town around here yesterday between Mother's Day and Olivia's 7th birthday! I wanted to share a little image I put together from one of my watercolor paintings and some chalkboardy-like text that I used as a Mother's Day card. Here's hoping all the mamas had a great day.
